First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.

All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Thanks! Share it with your friends!

Description

Oatman is a mysterious and tiny town surrounded by the Black Mountains that overlooks the Mojave Desert. A little more than half a century ago, it was a prime strategic base for miners (there are still a couple of active mines) and those seeking gold. Like many other old towns, Oatman has become a ghost town.

  • iotus2 Added Ghost towns are fascinating. Trying to visualize the lives of the people and what was important to them - and how quickly things change. Thank you.
  • Kathy Added Looks like a lot of old gold mining history in Oatman.

  • CharMaine Added Thanks for the adventure, dude. That is pretty desolate out there. Some of that stuff was really old and very cool. I can get so caught up in shops like that. Some years ago, we planned a day motorcycle trip to Oatman, but it got cancelled last min. I guess I can say I've finally seen it. Thanks for posting it, Mel.

  • Becky Added He pans so fast, I couldn't focus my eyes on anything. It sure looks like a fun place to visit, though!
